蒂莫西·米勒，76岁，住在汉普郡赫奇恩德舍伍德大道，因在朴次茅斯市中心的反移民和反种族主义示威活动中被捕，事件发生在9月12日。在星期三于朴次茅斯地方法院的听证会上，他一边拿着一个黑色手提包，一边掀开面纱以确认自己的身份。
Timothy Miller, 76, of Sherwood Avenue in Hedge End, Southampton, was arrested in relation to the anti-migrant and anti-racism demonstrations in Portsmouth city centre on 12 September During the hearing at Portsmouth Magistrates' Court on Wednesday, he lifted the veil while holding a black handbag as he confirmed his identity.
当被问及他是否认罪时，米勒回答说：“既然我在每个警察摄像头里都出现了，我就无罪”。
When asked how he pleaded, Miller replied: "As I am in every police camera, I am not guilty".
此次抗议发生在9月6日的骚乱之后，当时警方前往东尼码头，因为数百名示威者封锁道路，试图阻止搭载约140名乘坐小艇横渡英吉利海峡的移民的巴士离开城市。
The protest followed disorder on 6 September when police attended Eastney Marina as hundreds of demonstrators blocked roads in an attempt to stop coaches carrying about 140 migrants, who had crossed the English Channel in a dinghy, from leaving the city.
地方法官斯蒂芬·阿普特德询问被告是否能摘下面部遮盖物，以便进行身份识别。米勒掀开了罩袍的面纱，并确认了自己的姓名、出生日期和地址。米勒告诉法庭，他曾在摩洛哥生活过，并曾前往巴林和迪拜旅行。
District Judge Stephen Apted asked the defendant if he could remove his face covering, so that he could be identified. Miller lifted the veil of the burqa and confirmed his name, date of birth and address. Miller told the court he had lived in Morocco and travelled to Bahrain and Dubai.
阿普特德将案件延期至同年2月16日在同一法院进行审判，并以无条件保释释放了米勒。
Apted adjourned the case for a trial at the same court on 16 February and released Miller on unconditional bail.
米勒告诉法庭，他在听证会上没有律师代表，但正通过众筹筹集资金以支付法律代表费用。
Miller told the court he was unrepresented at the hearing but was crowdfunding to pay for legal representatives.
阿普特德表示，米勒的辩护代表必须提交一份报告，以确认被告的案件情况。
Apted said Miller's defence representatives must produce a report confirming the defendant's case.
